"Deeply researched, beautifully written, and informed by a lively sympathy for itssubjects, Hermione Harris's book is by far the richest study that has yet been done of an African Christian church in the Diaspora. Reaching back to the first big wave of Nigerian settlement in London over forty years ago, Harris's subtle analysis shows how indigenous Yoruba notions of spiritual power fuse with Bible interpretation to shape the life-worlds of Nigerian students and workers, and underpin the rituals of prayer and revelation that answer to their practical and existential needs. This will surely prove a benchmark study for anyone interested in the religious life of the African Diaspora for many years to come." - J. D. Y. Peel, SOAS (London)
"At a time when contemporary anthropological and sociological scholarship on African Christianity has concentrated on multifaceted processes of globalizing Pentecostalism, Hermione Harris's new book is an important reminder that a fresh understanding of the so-called African Initiated (or Indpendent/Instituted) Churches (AICs) is necessary in putting African Pentecostalism in proper (global) perspective... Scholars and students of African religions/Christianities across the disciplines will find this book of much use in their work." - Asonzeh Ukah
